Depending on the year of it? many year models have only limited serviceable parts for the column (cylinder housing not being one of them!) And unless you have broken into many steering columns in your life time, you will find out its very tedious and time consuming, and you might end up breaking more parts just getting to the part that needs replaced.....
And For what you will pay at the dealer for the part + time in labor re-placing it, You will be much better off getting a WHOLE USED steering column assembly from a local wrecking yard...then its just a few bolts and electrical connectors to replace it in its entirety...In turn saving you money & time...You can also find one the same color as your current column...A complete column should run you around $50.00-$100.00 for a 96-00 year models....And $100.00-$150.00 for 00-06 just to give you a good idea of column cost for these..... Hope this helps in your decision.....and good luck..
